It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The
information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and
PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help
you recognize this information.
SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
4
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
5
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
a) Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second
hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the
saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you
from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece. Less than a
full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure
the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure,blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This
improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round)
of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the
saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt. The blade
washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
Kickback Safety Instructions
Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback:
– Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade,
causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the
operator.
– When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the
blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the
operator.
– If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back
edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the
blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
i) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms
to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to
jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if
proper precautions are taken.
j) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason,
release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate
the cause of blade binding.
7
k) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the
kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw
blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.
l) Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports
must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and
near the edge of the panel.
m)Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set
blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and
kickback.
n) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.
o) Use extra caution when making a "plunge cut" into existing walls or
other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause
kickback.
Lower Guard Safety Instructions
p) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not
operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If
saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower
guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does
not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
q) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the
spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy
deposits, or a build-up of debris.
r) Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such
as "plunge cuts" and "compound cuts." Raise lower guard by
retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower
guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.
s) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before
placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade
will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be
aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
Other Safety Instructions
t) Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY
EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19
standards.
u) Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or
other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust
and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always
operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust
may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the
dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of
harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved
respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.

EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in
this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts
for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-
A or W following the cord type designation. For example – SJTW-A to indicate it
is acceptable for outdoor use.

CLAMP THE WORKPIECE
Secure the workpiece properly. The workpiece should be
straight and firmly clamped to avoid possible movement
and pinching as the cut nears completion. Provide
adequate support for long or wide workpieces.
Confirm that the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or
securing the workpiece, or changing the workpiece angle. Press the safety,
then the trigger switch. Move the saw forward to contact the workpiece
.
Clamp the workpiece on a rigid support, such as a bench or saw horses.
Mark the line of cut on the workpiece. Be sure that the cut-off line is far
enough on the workpiece to allow proper operation of the telescoping guard.
Place the front edge of the saw squarely on workpiece before starting the
motor. Sight the cutting line with the sighting notch indicator or use the
cutting guide. Be certain that the blade is not contacting the workpiece. Press
the safety, then the trigger switch, and move the saw forward to begin the
cut.
Keep the cord away from cutting area to prevent it from
becoming entangled in the workpiece.
Do not force the saw. Let the saw do the cutting at the rate of speed
permitted by the type of cut and workpiece to minimize sparking and to
avoid overloading the tool. After completing the cut, release the power
switch and wait for the coasting blade to stop completely before putting the
saw down.
